curl is installed - running the curl test script,
<?php
$ch = curl_init("http://www.whatever.com/");
$fp = fopen("index.php", "w");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
fclose($fp);
?>
returns
the index page but with these errors
Warning: fopen(index.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/marvesta/public_html/testing.php on line 4
Warning: curl_setopt(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /home/marvesta/public_html/testing.php on line 6
Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/marvesta/public_html/testing.php on line 11
You got a clue? My hosting folks don't have a single one.
There's no change in the curl path and no proxy.
Sounds like php settings to me.
